I had a look at Bobby Madden's performance in our first game of the season against Hearts and his stats are worse than yesterday.
Celtic had 73% possession but yet Bobby only gave 4 fouls against Hearts and that included the terrible challenge by Halliday on Calmac, which went unpunished by the referee or the compliance officer.
Using the same formula as below, with the ball being in play on average of 60 minutes.
Bobby Madden gave Celtic a foul every 10 minutes and 57 seconds.
In the same game Brother Bobby gave a foul against Celtic every 1 minute and 28 seconds.
So basically the referee has given Hearts over 7 times the amount of fouls.
Yesterday Madden gave Aberdeen 4 times the amount of fouls using that formula.
That's shocking statistics and I thought Bobby Madden was the best referee we had.
It doesn't look good for Celtic.

I mentioned the shocking display of blatant cheating by the guy all through the live chat. He purposely broke up the play for non-fouls shortly after we scored and not only booked three Celts during the game, but turned blind eyes to several Aberdeen fouls including a late challenge by their irritating wee right back on Kyogo.
I know we expect it week-in week-out, with the amount of scoundrels on the Lanarkshire Lodge conveyor belt; but please Celtic, speak up and at least acknowledge this is happening never mind jog-on and accept it because it will get a lot worse if we do find some form.

Hi buzz mate, how is the family, all good i hope. That is shocking stats that you are uncovering and it highlights the agenda against Celtic. they are so desperate for the 40m champions league money that they will break all the rules and our governing body facilitate it. It makes you wonder what OUR club think about it as they never challenge it. your thoughts?

The ref and the Aberdeen players were a disgrace yesterday any slight touch and they were falling all over the place and madhun was happy to give the foul against Celtic whilst ignoring legitimate fouls against us and it's never going to change until Celtic start highlighting it and speaking up about it.

All good Rob, I hope it’s the same on your side.
Celtic have had to deal with biased referees for generations, I was more outraged with this season’s fixture list.
It’s looking like Celtic will have to travel to Hibs, Hearts or Aberdeen for a 3rd time after the split, whilst Sevco will have to travel to one of those clubs only Once this season and they will play a 3rd game at Ibrox instead.
The SPFL/ SFA are acting stupid because there was always a better chance of Hearts getting into the top 6 than what Dundee had.
If Celtic were Away to Dundee Twice before the split instead of Hearts, it would’ve worked out perfect but for some reason the Scottish football authorities decided to give Sevco a massive advantage.
